I make a terminal window and use EditText to display received messages. I need to somehow make the EditText form scrollable but cannot be changed (the keyboard did not show). This can be done?

Sometimes a edittext window will only scroll it's contents if you are in the middle of a selection operation (cut/copy) and you are dragging the selection (shaded area) above or below the edittext borders.

I meant that I want EditText to be scrollable, but not editable. That the keyboard was not caused when clicking on EditText, but it would be possible to scroll.
